    Scorsese's dive into the dark psyche of a man on the edge is as unflinching as it is disturbing. De Niro's portrayal of Travis Bickle is a masterclass in simmering insanity. The film's grit and urban decay resonate with the Berlin of my youth, yet its psychological unraveling transcends time and place. A stark, almost clinical, examination of isolation and violence.
